Though All City ceased this year, my All City Dusty Rose Space Horse is still my favorite current bike. I’ve done three tours of the GAP/C&O, one of the Erie Canal, and many shorter adventures on it. It fits me like a glove.

Setup Notes & Customizations
There are a few specific tweaks I made to this build to get the fit and gearing just right:
- Gearing: for climbing, I throw a 36 cassette in back. For general touring, a 32 is preferred.
- Crankset Mods: I am running a 28-tooth Spécialités TA chainring. The RX800 crank is lighter, and I shaved down the chain slip guide to fit the inner chainring.
- Fit Data:
- Saddle Setup: 9% angle on the non-drive side; phone aligned with the nose.
- Stem: I am using the 70mm / 17-degree version of the Shimano PRO LT.
- Cabling:
- Brake Housing: Shimano Hydro
- Shift Housing: Jagwire LEX-SL Black
